Judges Across U.S. Are Halting Trump’s Mass Deportations


Many Citing Immigrants Have Due Process Rights

A federal judge temporarily stayed the deportation order for New Sanctuary Coalition executive director Ravi Ragbir on Friday, only one day before he was scheduled to be deported. He’s one of a growing number of immigrants whose scheduled deportations—both individual or en masse—have been halted by federal judges in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan and Florida. For more on the legal battle against Trump’s mass deportation efforts, we speak with Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project; Seth Kaper-Dale, pastor of the Reformed Church of Highland Park; and Ravi Ragbir, executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition.
